Hey People,How you have been?No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

- Barbara de Angelis

Some times we, the Human being, run around the world to search the Happiness. Happiness is a choice WE have to make. It is a state of being only we can create. Happiness can be achieved even with the very small things that we do in our daily life. Its only up to us how we take it. Being Happy is something that you have to learn. I offen surprise myself by even very small things like getting a surprise card/gift from my boy, going for a long drive late in the night, spending some quality time with hubby, talking with friends and family,i have a career that i love etc, etc, etc..... It has nothing to do with money (however money adds an extra charm in it).

Have you ever asked a few questions to yourself :

Are you a happy person?

What is happiness for you?

Do you think that happiness lies within you? Or does it depend upon other people and external things?

Can money buy happiness?

What are the three most important things for you to be happy?

How can you become happy again when you are sad?

How often do you feel really happy?

What makes you unhappy?

What is there to be happy about in the world today?

What is or was the happiest time of your life?

Why are teenagers some of the happiest people in the world?

Get an answer of these question from your inner-self and try to make your each and ever day better than before. Life is too short to waste. Life is beautiful and live it to fullest.at last Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

I had a rocking weekend as my cousin visited us for the first time.We had long conversations about our childhood activities and masti.. :). It always feel awesome to recall your memories and enjoy them with your pals. Is not it? We surf around the city as it was his first visit to Hyderabad.On Saturday, we went to Chutney's, a traditional South Indian,for the breakfast. They are one of the restaurants that serve best south Indian food and as they name says they serve 4 different types of Chutney , a variety of south Indian items like dosa, idle, uttapam etc along with the other c. I just love the food there.Other than food it has impressive ambiance too.If you have plans to visit Hyderabad and taste the south Indian cosine's, i will strictly recommend you to go for Chutney's. They are one of the bests in Hyderabad.

This is what i wore for the day. Stripes, checks and prints are already in fashion this spring/summer and i too tried the Stripes this time (however i did not play much with the colors). It is quite HOT in Hyderabad these days so i have restricted the accessories to minimal.

Hey Guys....How are you doing??Today i got my next pair of shoes from asos.com and so i thought of writing a post on online shopping... :)I had shifted to Hyderabad 2 years back and i was really getting bored to go for shopping here as most of the high street brands are not available in Hyderabad. Collection is also an issue even on the regular brands. Initially i create a list of my shopping items and when i visit to my mom's place, i used to shop in Delhi. But the time was very limited to go for shopping as the leaves are restricted to a week or two.. :( :(So i started looking for some online stuff and found some really amazing sites. Now my 60% of shopping is part of online. This is really amazing to shop staying at home and not bothering about heat and time. :)

I love shoes and even this time i have bought the shoes too. So here is my haul from online shopping :

nude pumps : asos.com

(could not get a decent pic of my sexy shoes, so posting a pic from site but are are super cute and very comfortable ..... love them )

wedges: Yebhi.com (An Indian shopping site)

(I love the cute bow on these wedges. They are freaking cute and i got these shoes just coz of the cute bows on the side.... )

Here are some tips for online shopping:

1. Shop at Secure Web Sites and research the Web Site Before You Order(in case you are ordering for the first time)

2. Read the Web Site's Privacy and Security Policies.Every reputable e-commerce Web site offers information about how it processes the order.

3. Search for the same product on different sites to find where you can get the lowest price.

4. Some sites offer a free shipping but other sites have the shipping charges per order/product . Always check the shipping charges you are going to pay .

5. Keep an eye open for discount coupons either listed on the seller’s website itself, or elsewhere on the internet.

6. Check the size/measurement of the product you are buying and match it with your requirement.

7. Always store the copy of your bill, till the product get delivered.

8. Some time, even the most cautious shopper can end up with purchases they don't want, purchases that don't fit or purchases that they didn't even order. So always check the return policy for the site.

9. Check for the different payment options , website is providing and use one that best suits you
